Misunderstandings occur when one or more parties do not have all the vital pieces of information or fail to comprehend what the other party wants to convey. You can resolve the misunderstanding by:

2) Ask questions to understand which points have been understood correctly and which not
3) Concentrate and work on only those points which have been misunderstood
